This is the long-awaited release of the low-frequency loudspeaker design
software. In addition to this README file, three other files are included:
spreadsheet.rof
A tbl/eqn/troff document describing the basic principles behind
the simplified loudspeaker design and simulation software. To
process this file, use the pretty straightforward commands:
tbl spreadsheet.rof | eqn | troff -me <whatever else>
I am aware of nothing strange, as far as typsetting tricks are
concerned, in this file.
[spreadsheet.ps
A Postscript version of the above file. -WKM]
boxdesign.sc
A spreadsheet database for the UNIX sc spreadsheet calculator
for designing loudspeaker systems. This database is initialized
with driver data for a Precision Loudspeakers TP165R-8 6-1/2"
bass-midrange driver as a practical example (it also provides
me with a semi-ethical way to make a plug for what I feel is
the best available bass-midrange driver around!).
[The sc program can be obtained via FTP from ftp.uu.net in file
/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume20/sc -WKM]
boxdesign.1
The man page source for the above spreadsheet database. It is
fairly extensive, having as much to do with the general operation
of the spreadsheet as it does with loudspeakers in general.
The software works reasonably well, given the constraints documented. As
always, refer any bugs, improvements, comments and suggestions to me.
